The Raiders are signing QB Seneca Wallace after working him out, Tyler Thigpen and perhaps others

The Raiders are signing up so many QBs that it is now virtually impossible they would take Geno Smith, even if he was available at #3 overall.

And they'd be theoretically passing on him for Seneca Wallace, Terrell (sp?) Pryor and maybe even Tyler ****ing Thigpen.

What's far more likely, is what some of us already suspect: they're not passing on him at all.

Like all of the QB-specific movement that immediately pre-dated the Geno visit in KC, I think the worst kept secret behind the closed doors of GM offices across the league is that Geno Smith is officially off the board at #1 overall.

I personally think it is down to the Eagles and the Jaguars. The Eagles want Geno as a developmental guy behind Vick, and the Jags, who are largely believed to like Geno, don't want to get jumped, a la Browns with Trent Richardson last year.

And then there's the least likely option, but one I think is still somehow alive: that the Chiefs actually think Geno fits what they're trying to do, and can be special, and that they will take Geno #1 overall if the compensation they are offered for trading down isn't sexy enough.

I may have my head up my ass, as I so often do. But I think the reasonable assumption to make from here on out that Geno Smith is known league-wide to be the first overall pick. The league almost certainly knows who the players for that pick are. And I'm willing to bet the league almost certainly assumes the Chiefs are not in the running for Geno. There has been absolutely no smoke for that particular fire to be real.

You keep saying this shit, but the fact is; we already had our collective meltdown with the Smith trade. Im sticking with the team regardless of who they pick, and if Smithy falls short, I know for a stone-cold FACT that he wont be long for this roster. He will be benched and eventually cut. That's how Dorseid work. Period. Now; kindly go fist your dog or cat.Posted via Mobile Device

There was actually TWO meltdowns. This third one on draft day when you take a Left Tackle, is going to be the cherry on top.

Try this one on for size. From what I have seen, Geno was to visit the Jets. Let's say the Jets were impressed enough to want Geno, but fear Jax is going to make the pick if we pass. Jets move Revis to Tampa for the #13 pick (and some more), but package the #9 and #13 pick to move to the top of the draft.
